Press release

We're firing up the reactor soon! The retro-inspired FPS game Kvark will launch on Steam on June 2nd.

Latest Past studio and Perun Creative will soon be ready to invite the players who are brave enough to start exploring a dangerous underground facility somewhere in the Czech Republic. Load your guns, put your asbestos jacket on, and get ready to uncover all the mysteries your not-so-ethical employer was trying to hide.

April 28th, Ostrava, Czech Republic.

They say hard work ennobles the soul – even if your workplace is a uranium mine. And you don't mind working hard. What you do mind, however, is being locked in a cell with the sounds of sirens and screams of terror all around you. Screw it! This is NOT what you signed up for!

Watch the Kvark release date announcement trailer HERE.

If you like what you saw, add the game to your Steam wishlist (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2319390/Kvark/) and get ready to embark on a radioactive adventure this June.
